Veni Vidi Incertus (S-cells, XV)
(Published on 31. December 2023, 14:52 by gdc)
This is my third Schrödinger/fog puzzle. This time, it uses XV-clues. The other two used black kropki dots and zipper lines. The clues use colors to make them more distinct. Thanks to the CtC fan-discord for testing and feedback.
- Normal Schrödinger Sudoku rules apply. Place one or two of the digits 0-9 in every empty cell such that each row, column and box contains each digit exactly once.
- The grid is partially covered in fog. Placing correct digits reveals clues in the surrounding 3x3 area.
- Digits joined by a blue V sum to 5. Digits joined by a green X sum to 10. Not all Xs and Vs are given.
Example
This example showcases how a finished 6x6 grid with this ruleset might look like. Each row, column and box contains one digit with two values (marked in red). Some of the XV-clues contain red cells which means that 3 digits are added. The topleft clue is satisfied since 5+2+3=10.
Solution code: The digits in all Schrödinger cells, top to bottom (18 digits). For the example puzzle, this would be 232335012446.

I agree with the other comment about it being approachable, if you are a 2 star person who can sometimes crack a 3 star but not always then this is the puzzle for you!
Also I know you do this on a lot of your puzzles but I do love the examples that you give as sometimes you think you've understood the rules but you might just misinterpret something or there's a language barrier and the picture examples really help clarify. I didn't need the example personally today as I'm familiar with the rule set but for someone new to schrödingers I think it's fantastic.

Great bit of fun. I wouldn't let the star-rating mislead you, this is quite the approachable puzzle.
